Narasimhananda Swami deposited Review Struggle and Utopia by Francois Laruelle Prabuddha Bharata August 2017 on Humanities Commons 6 years, 11 months ago

François Laruelle’s non-standard philosophy is necessary for the survival or popularity of philosophy according to Laruelle: ‘Philosophy can only really become “for all” or “popular” by becoming non-philosophy’ (cover). Non-philosophy is not no philosophy but a different approach to philosophising where philosophy is not the main thing but the ‘real’ is.
